I like to listen to books on CD when I take long road trips. On a trip in October, I listened to the book "Killing Kennedy" by Bill O'Reilly. Not saying that is the best book on the subject, just the only one I have heard/read. The public library has the book on CD and it is worth the time to listen. JFK was no saint. They cover what is suspected in the death of Kennedy. Also his relationship with Marilyn Monroe and the very large number of other women in JFK's life.
twomillenium, Those same rumors floated around our school as well about the electric paddling machine but I can verify that no such machine existed. However, students did not like getting the paddle from my Dad. Being a principal's son is no fun. Once I moved on to other schools, if I did something worthy of paddling, I got it at school and again once I got home as the principals must have a "paddle list" that gets circulated amongst the group.twomillenium wrote: ↑Fri Nov 23, 2018 8:32 am I was in 3rd grade, standing in the hall outside the classroom, (I spent my fair share of time standing in the hall for class infractions, hoping the principal did not come by and strap me to the electric paddling machine that could paddle 1,000 times a second, that was the rumor), teachers came out of the teacher's lounge (which bellowed cigarette smoke) motioned for my teacher to come into the hall where they told her that to President had been shot. Moments later it was announced that the President had died. We were sent home early.
